Decades after “The Rain of Death” in ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights, technological advancements gave way to the creation of artificial life forms known as homunculi, amalgamations of machinery and magic. But when a strange toxin begins to rise throughout the Land of Fumes, the homunculi lose their senses and turn violent, forcing humans to retreat from the onslaught of their former helpers.
Lilac awakes alone in a devastated laboratory deep underground with only vague memories of her past. She recalls her role as an Attuner, granting her the ability to save homunculi and humanity alike. Together with the friends she meets along the way, she must uncover the truth behind the toxic fumes and the cause of the conflict between humans and homunculi.
Explore the gloomy yet beautiful Land of Fumes, defeating and then purifying homunculi to convert them into allies. Bring up to four into battle at a time, grow stronger together, and customize Lilac’s abilities. Discover ten distinct powers and three upgrades for each, including melee attacks, long-range projectiles, lock-on auto-attacks, and more, totaling 30 different abilities.
Collect gold and spare parts scattered around the land to upgrade weapons and abilities at the Blacksmith. Uncover fragments of the truth in lab reports, diaries, and the pasts of Lilac and her friends.
Lilac’s journey will take her through gorgeously hand-drawn and hauntingly beautiful abandoned cities, a magic academy, colossal factories, and more, totaling 35 hours of content. Roam these melancholy lands to the eerie, whimsical soundscapes of international indie music group Mili.

In the latest entry of the Atelier franchise, players can freely explore the Aladiss continent by discovering ruins, uncovering hidden treasures, and encountering brand-new characters. A newly unveiled overview trailer gives fans a deeper look at the game system, while a brand-new key visual by Benitama has also been released to the public.Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Landwill be available 21st March 2025 on Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Windows PC via Steam® and, for the first time in franchise history, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One.
Discover the game system overview trailer of Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land on YouTube
Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land follows the adventures of Yumia Liessfeldt and her companions as they set off on a journey to unravel the mysteries behind the cataclysm that destroyed the once great continent of Aladiss, resulting in alchemy becoming taboo. In her quest, Yumia will be assisted by Flammi, a flying, self-confident traveling companion who once belonged to her mother. She will also encounter many different characters throughout her travels, including Licht, a highly skilled informant, Wilma, an anthropologist with a passion for the culture of Aladiss, and Erhard, the leader of the Research Team. Yumia will also encounter the Alber, a small and friendly tribe who live in various parts of the world.
Alongside Yumia, players will explore dungeons and ruins in search of hidden treasures including “memory vials”, remnants of the past that will allow them to consult certain information on the field such as the location of relic treasures around them. “Memory vials” can also be dismantled to obtain rare materials which are useful for synthesis.
By using the treasure trove keys found during their journey, players will be able to access precious treasures. They can find “trait crystals”, which can be used on items or equipment to improve performance from treasure chests. As they venture into Aladiss, fans will also find “mana geysers” which will release “particles”, needed to unlock new synthesis recipes.
In Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land, exploration will not be without its dangers as players will sometimes have to venture into “manabound areas” where highly dense mana lies stagnant. Entering these areas will gradually deplete players’ energy, making it impossible to run, and reducing abilities in battle. While fans can restore their health by finding Alstahlia Flowers, discovering and restoring landmarks will clear the area and improve ease of exploration.
While progressing through the story, players will receive exclusive quests from their travelling companions, but will also be able to gain rewards by completing normal quests. Discovering and unlocking landmarks and Shrines of Prayers during exploration will grant them with location quests.
In addition to the standard edition, players can pre-order two special physical editions; the PREMIUM BOX that includes the base game*, an artbook, a B3-size cloth poster with original illustration, a CD with extra tracks, and an exclusive early access costume for Yumia, “Alchemist of her day off”. The SPECIAL COLLECTION BOX includes all of the content from the PREMIUM BOX, as well as a handkerchief in the style of the Aladiss Research Team bandana, an A1-size tapestry with an original illustration, a set of six decorative keychains, a set of six special clear file folders, a special sticker sheet, Yumia’s precious stuffed animal, an official short story, and accompanying translation booklet.
Everyone who purchases either a physical or digital edition up to two weeks after release will receive the “Athlete of Memories” early purchase costume for Yumia, the “Floating Object of Memories” costume for Flammi, and the exclusive “Training Wrist Weight” equipment.
Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land will be available on 21st March 2025 on Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Window PC via Steam®. The game will include Japanese voices with English, French, German and Spanish texts.

Unlocking Interactive Experiences: Dive into a Thrilling Branching Narrative That Explores the Impact of AI and Technology on Society
Montreal, Canada, January 22nd, 2025 – Signal Space Lab and Actrio Studio are excited to unveil VREX, the innovative proprietary software tool that powers their breakthrough interactive VR experience, Human Within, now available on Meta Quest 2, 3 and Pro.
Directed by Avi Winkler and Anne Weigel, Human Within seamlessly blends a captivating storyline with interactive gameplay, utilizing VREX to create a thrilling branching narrative, immersing players in a world that explores the profound influence of AI and advanced technology on society while shedding light on the potential threats of misuse.
VREX’s aim is to democratize content creation for both VR and non-VR platforms, making it accessible to all creatives by using easy drag & drop functionality and deep technical menu based inputs. Resembling most timeline bound editors like video editors (Premiere, FinalCut) and digital audio workstations (Protools, Reaper), VREX offers interactivity features and authoring solutions that were integral to the development of award-winning projects such as Afterlife and Human Within.
Designed with both creative and technical teams in mind, VREX enhances immersion while optimizing media management and rendering for various devices. Its complex interactive workflows effortlessly combine branching narratives with attention-based choices that respond immediately to users’ stimuli, including eye movement and sound.
Key Features of VREX
Media Ingest: Supports a wide array of monoscopic and stereoscopic video formats, including popular options for Windows and MacOS (H.265 compatible).
Timeline Manipulation: Familiar video editing functionalities, such as zooming, scrolling, and track rearrangement for effective editing.
Choice Tracks and Logic: Enables selection of tracks based on user-defined criteria, with conditions to enhance branching narratives.
Attention-Based Choices: Interactive decision-making where video segments play based on user gaze, allowing users to confirm choices by maintaining focus on the desired content. This gaze based interactivity is in addition to other standard choice selection features (ie; point and click)
File Size Reduction: Innovative composite rendering reduces file sizes while preserving quality, ensuring seamless visuals with consistent color balance.
High Resolution: Maximizes visual quality by utilizing a proprietary decoding engine that achieves resolutions beyond usual device constraints. Human Within for example uses and decodes 8192 x 8192 video on Quest headsets which are normally limited to 5760 x 5760 pixels.
These features collectively enhance the immersive storytelling experience, making VREX an innovative tool for interactive narrative creation.
Signal Space is currently working alongside video content creators interested in pushing the boundaries of storytelling and giving them free access to the VREX tool. If you would like to be part of our early tester group or want to leverage its features in your next project, please contact us at: [email protected]
About Human Within
Signal Space Lab began pre-production of Human Within, in 2019, including script writing and prototyping the experience under the creative direction of Avi Winkler. Director Anne Weigel and award-winning German producer Actrio Studio joined the project and wrapped principal photography in December 2023. Human Within then began its festival tour in October premiering at FIVARS in Toronto on October 3rd and Beyond The Frame Festival in Tokyo on October 25th-27th, 2024. Supported by Meta, Canada Media Fund, Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, and Filmstiftung NRW Germany, Human Within aims to raise the bar for interactive narrative VR experiences.
“Human Within is an experimental multimedia mix of film and interactivity that offers a one-of-a-kind look at what drives us to create new tech, and how technology shapes us in return,” said Avi Winkler, Creative Director at Signal Space Lab. “We didn’t just want to tell a story in a passive way, but let the audience play a role in how it plays out. With technology rapidly advancing every day, we wanted to change the way we tell stories in turn.”
Founded in 2014, Signal Space Lab is an award-winning interactive creation studio specializing in immersive XR entertainment, video games, and audio production. Our goal is to advance the art of interactive media by imagining and producing original, innovative, and memorable experiences that materialize into sound, visual, and gaming environments.
Malta, January 20, 2025 – Dorado Games is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated return of Elite Challenges to Conflict of Nations: World War 3. This revamped feature brings a new level of depth and competitive spirit to the alliance warfare experience, offering players the ultimate battleground to prove their strategic mettle.
What Are Elite Challenges?
Elite Challenges are team-based battles where alliances face off against one another in a no-holds-barred test of skill and strategy. Unlike regular alliance challenges, Elite Challenges come with a critical twist, players must be rank 25 or above and gold usage is prohibited! To kick off the return of competitive alliance matches two challenge maps are available, the Mediterranean and Antarctica. This demanding game mode also differentiates from other matches of Conflict of Nations: World War 3 with 2X starting resources and production and the tech tree starting on day 10. This allows commanders to produce much higher army counts and utilise a more diverse range of tech.
Why Now?
Elite Challenges were previously available in Conflict of Nations, but the manual process of setting up these events became unmanageable as the community expanded. After listening to player feedback and refining our systems, we’re excited to announce that Elite Challenges are back with a vengeance! Dorado Games Monetization Manager, Mark Abdilla shares he’s excitement on the feature – “Our elite alliance challenges are an important facet of competitive play and our community takes these challenges very seriously. We’re proud to be one of the very few games out there that actively gives players an option to completely restrict the use of premium currency in favour of serious competition. This, coupled with our recent changes to the way alliances are ranked on our leaderboard, is only a first step in breathing life back into our alliances and providing them with the necessary support to engage with the very best that Conflict of Nations: World War 3 has to offer!”
How Does It Work?
It couldn’t be any easier to get involved with the action:
Challenge Creation – Alliance leaders can initiate a challenge by selecting an Elite Challenge map and inviting another alliance to compete.
Challenge Acceptance – The opposing alliance leader can choose to accept or decline the challenge.
Player Participation – Once accepted, players from both alliances use their Elite Challenge tickets to join the match. Alliances must strategize and select their top players to compete for ultimate glory.
Get Ready for the Ultimate Test of Strategy
Elite Challenges are available now. Rally your alliance, sharpen your tactics, and prepare to conquer the battlefield like never before.

Conflict of Nations Key Features
Grand Long Term Strategy Experience: War wasn’t won in a day, and neither is Conflict of Nations. Prove your military might in online multiplayer matches against up to 140 other players.
Show the Might of your Munitions: Your arsenal includes a range of some of the most powerful weapons known to man. But be warned, these weapons come at a cost: Contamination, crimes against humanity, and declining national morale to name a few.
Turn Formidable Foes into Allies (and then back into foes): Enter enduring alliances, negotiate with other players over resource trades and if needs must- betrayal is always an option.
